Chapter 180 Dorgon: I don't want to be a sinner of the Eight Banners

Zheng Zhibao is really Spartan.

He came to drink the sinking vessel far away and shouted for the sinking vessel far away, but now "drink" has become a "rescue". If he had not received Zheng Zhilong's instructions long ago, he would have helped the sinking vessel far away at all costs, Zheng Zhibao would have slapped his butt and left.

Is it easy for him to lead his army to North Korea now? Do you know what it looks like outside the pass now?

Wu Sangui's army retreated into the pass, and even 200,000 to 300,000 people retreated into the pass. The Clippers in the rear reported that the Tartars' triceratops had already floated at the top of Ningyuan City.

The Zheng army was already very miserable to guard Juehua Island alone, and the Ming Dynasty lost Beidu even more miserable.

Now the remnant Ming forces where Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui, the Qing Dynasty and Zheng Zhilong are located are all focused on the land of Beijing and Tianjin, but Zheng Zhibao still has to divide the main troops to come to North Korea. Is this a big delay?

If the troops he led now were still on Juehua Island, even if the Qing Dynasty wanted to enter the pass through a large number, it would not dare to go all out, okay?

But now that he left like this, he not only wanted to rescue Shen Qi and they were away, but also forced the Korean monarch and ministers to hand over all the relatives of these people. That would take a long time to waste this.

In Zheng Zhibao's opinion, this is not worth it at all.

Although he has not received much news now, he can't help but have a time traveler brother. Zheng Zhilong's secret letter to him naturally didn't find anything, but there was only a layer of window screen.

Zheng Zhibao's name is very reckless, and he is indeed not very smart, but he is not stupid either.

Referring to the two, you can see a lot of real thoughts.

His elder brother had a clever idea and had long expected that the capital would not be able to be defended. He expected that Wu Sangui would not be reliable, so he began to prepare to go north to serve the king. Although he was shocked that Wu Sangui might have been surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, this was from his elder brother's "mouth", and the elder brother said yes, that must be.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty will definitely enter the pass in large quantities. How important is the location of Juehua Island where they are, you can imagine it with your toes. But at this critical moment, the inability to make him angry. This is...

How much credit does a sinking tool delay his contribution?

But no matter what, he couldn't catch up with the good show. Zheng Zhibao was full of anger and spread all over the North Koreans. The warships first broke into Jianghua Bay, bombarded several warships deployed by North Korea there into pieces, and then sent several flat centipede ships and old gate ships to go up the river and headed straight to Seoul.

The musketeers from a battalion landed cleanly defeated the attacking Seoul defenders. There were some bird gun soldiers of the Korean army, and they could even be seen by the Qing army in terms of combat effectiveness. Even in Shunzhi, the Qing Dynasty entered the pass through the clan of the Qing Dynasty, and the nests in the rear were empty, allowing Tsarist Russia to take advantage of the loopholes. In order to drive out Tsarist Russia, the Qing Dynasty organized troops to fight with its vanguard Cossack twice and won the battle. There were bird gun soldiers recruited from North Korea.

But North Korea has been ravaged by the Qing Dynasty twice, and there are still some muskets left, so it is rare to see artillery.

Zheng Zhilong had good guns and cannons. The cannons were first bombed, followed by heavy turtle dove-legged guns and large turtle dove-legged guns, and then fired a volley of muskets. Finally, the bayonets attacked, and the Korean soldiers ran away with their heads in their arms and abandoned their armor.

Li Jue and the ministers found that they could not defeat the small number of Zheng troops coming across the sea, and that the sea and land were not opponents. Zheng Zhibao threatened them and said that if they did not act obediently, he would hunt along the coast on warships. Li Jue and the ministers were shocked.

If Zheng Zhibao took warships to fight guerrilla attacks along the coast, Li Jue would not be able to stand it. In addition, there were many people in North Korea who sympathized with Shen Qiyuan, and Li Jue also knew that he had lost his reputation, so he had to change his mind and handed Shen Qiyuan and others obediently to Zheng Zhibao.

However, the latter has a large number of people and has more relatives. It is also divided into different regions. If you want to send them all over, it will take a long time to prepare.

There were the eyes and ears of the Qing Dynasty in Seoul. Li Yu knew very well that Jin Zidian even had direct contact with the lowly slave Zheng Mingshou. Therefore, he directly sent envoys to ask for help from the Qing Dynasty.

But the eyes and ears of Zheng Mingshou, who was deeply hated by all the monarchs and ministers of the North Koreans, were not comparable to those of North Korean envoys. The latter had only crossed Haizhou and had not yet arrived in Huangzhou and was still a long way from Pyongyang, so the news had already reached Zheng Mingshou.

Zheng Mingshou learned about it and hurriedly reported it to Dorgon.

Prince Rui’s Mansion of Shengjing. Now this is the center of power of the Qing Dynasty, and the imperial palace is already a thing of the past.

Princes and nobles come in and out, is it a pity that "a hundred officials and horses meet in the south city"?

"Zheng Zhibao actually went to North Korea?" Dorgon's face was filled with joy. "This is really God helps me, God helps me."

What is his most troublesome problem these days? That is how many people are left to guard the house.

Zheng Jun was entrenched on Juehua Island, and he was stuck in Dorgon's throat with a fish bone, making him feel so angry that his teeth itched.

As for the combat effectiveness shown by the Zheng army in the past, how can we defend ourselves without 5700 or 800 people in a city? And in the vast Liaohai, there are countless coastal towns. If we really need to protect every point, it will be difficult to be good without 30,000 or 50,000 people.

But how many people were there in the Qing Dynasty? After deducting these people, the military power he could only use within the pass was 100,000.

"Can 100,000 soldiers seize the flower world of the Central Plains? Can they defeat Li Zicheng in one fell swoop?"

Dorgon didn't dare to think that it was too beautiful.

But now that Zheng Zhibao's main force is involved in North Korea, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

Even if the major event is completed and some troops are withdrawn and back to the outside of the aid pass, is this okay? According to Dorgon's understanding of the Ming army, the Qing army could surrender a large number of troops every time they defeated the Ming army, and Li Zicheng's army thought it was the same.

Furthermore, after the Eight Banners Army entered the pass, a large number of Baoyi could be upgraded to soldiers. After all, compared with the Han army, these Baoyi Aha had a closer relationship with the Qing Dynasty, right?

As long as the Qing Dynasty stood firm in the pass, Dorgon believed that all difficulties would be solved.

Of course, under the current situation, Wu Sangui's choice at Shanhaiguan is even more important. If Wu Sangui is willing to participate in the Qing Dynasty, then the Eight Banners will be a natural result in entering the pass. Otherwise, whether Wu Sangui is still loyal to Zhu Ming or Li Zicheng, it will be a big stumbling block in the Qing Dynasty's great cause.

So, in the battle between the Eight Banners, no matter what the situation was in Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui, or Chongzhen, Dorgon would have to fight.

"Even if Wu Sangui surrenders to Li's thief, I will have to go south."

"When the Ming Dynasty was strong and Li Wu, my Qing Dynasty entered the Frontier several times, which greatly restrained Zhu Ming's energy and strength. Not only did I weaken Zhu Ming, I also bought precious time and good opportunities for the thieves to grow and grow.

Now Li Qiangming is weak. If Li Zicheng is not restrained, I am afraid that Dashun can really defeat Qilu easily and drink horses from the Yangtze River. He even goes south to the Yangtze River in one fell swoop. Mingshun's bilateral strength is too imbalanced. Which side's strength is too strong is not a good thing for me, Daqing."

"The prince is wise." Dorgon's previous confidant, and those who had been attracted by him in these days, saw that Prince Rui had made up his mind, they all stepped forward to cater to him and said.

"It's not that I am wise, but that's a good opportunity given to God. There is a saying by the Han people that God will not take it but suffer the blame. Now this is the case. God has placed this great opportunity in front of me and in front of me. If I don't seize this great opportunity to enter the Central Plains, I will be the sinner of my Eight Banners."

Besides, he was already planning to lead his army into the Frontier, so who made the Qing Dynasty short of food?

Regarding the Zheng army's fire in the fields, there were not many soldiers on both sides who had lost their money, but the Qing Dynasty had to bear the fact that the Liaohe Basin, a heavy grain-producing area, suffered trauma. Now the Qing Dynasty has the savings from the warehouse, so there will be no famine, and the food price has not jumped to the point of 10 taels and 1 stone. But people always have to prepare for the future, right?

He sent someone to inform the Fan family of grain to purchase grain a few years ago.

Fan Yongdou was really a great hero. In February, he sent a message to him that all the food had been transported to many places in Northern Zhili to hide.

I just waited for the Eight Banners soldiers to come to collect food.

But now a better opportunity is in front of him, Dorgon is full of confidence, because if the plan is done this time, the Qing Dynasty would not have to come and leave like before.

The only thing that caused him a headache before was Juehua Island. Wu Sangui retreated from Ningyuan City, but Zheng Zhilong still nailed people to Juehua Island. It made Dorgon feel like he was in his throat. But now...

"Zheng Mingshou!" Dorgon shouted.

Zheng Mingshou, who was standing at the edge, flashed with excitement on his face, and stood up and beat Qian'er quickly, "Slave is here."

As a Korean slave, Zheng Mingshou has been captured with the army in the Battle of Sarhu, and has no psychological barriers to join Jiannu. Because the Korean slaves are not humans, but after joining Jiannu, Zheng Mingshou can become a human being. At least when facing the Koreans, he is not only a person, but also an adult.

For more than 20 years, Zheng Mingshou has gained the trust of the Qing Dynasty. Huang Taiji conquered the dynasty twice, and Zheng Mingshou has a very obvious role in communicating between the Qing Dynasty and North Korea. He has even been appointed as an imperial envoy representing the Qing Dynasty. He plays a special role in the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and North Korea.

For the Later Jin (Qing Dynasty), he established an intelligence network for the Qing Dynasty with his unique language advantages and familiarity with his country, North Korea. Any anti-Qing actions or political changes in North Korea could not escape Zheng Mingshou's eyes and became a powerful helper for the Qing Dynasty to control North Korea.

On the other hand, because he was a low-class person and when he was lent to North Korea, he relied on the political power of the Qing court to seek various benefits for his family, even endlessly, so he naturally had a sharp conflict with the monarch and ministers of the North.

For North Korea, Zheng Mingshou was a traitor who forgot his ancestors, but he was taken by the prestige of the Qing Dynasty and influenced by the pro-Qing lords and forces in North Korea, so he had to swallow his anger.

"You ask someone to quickly send a message to the King of Korea, and Kim Zidian, let them hand over the person slowly, slowly, and delay time to the maximum extent. Leave Zheng Zhibao to this King in Korea."

"At the same time, you will be on a mission to North Korea, and you will put pressure on Li and the others on the surface, and help them." Is it an excuse?

"But the most important thing about you is to keep an eye on the monarch and ministers of North Korea and don't play tricks."
